Correction - Rotor bolts, not caliper bolts. Also looking in to a fork and swing arm conversion next winter. Taking ideas now though.

What adventures I've had! So I got the new float needles and stopped the leaking from there and also put a new fuel tap on and stop the petrol leaking from there too but now its weeping out of the carby bowl. (Pictured) I have ordered new gaskets for them. One day this bike wont leak fuel! I...

White trace! On the wires! thanks CXman, turns out I had them backwards. My god I have awoken a beast, I got so used to it running on two cylinders that when I finally got it going on four I couldn't believe the noise and revs I could achieve. Now I have to order float needles and a fuel tap to...

Ok, I am back to working on my bike as this place slowly claws its way out of winter and back above freezing. Also I am back to full time work so have been very busy. I got got the bike running but not very well so I ordered and installed the dyna-jet kit and I could not believe how good the...

Got the seat but it didn't fit on the bike because I didn't allow for the thickness of the material when I made the pan, I bent the tab that sticks out the front down lower and now it fits. The tail light comes on with the ignition and the hi low beam is back to normal. No stealth mode :( Only...

I dropped the seat pan off at the upholsterer, he put some foam on it and I chose a material to cover it in. He also quoted me $440 for the work, I was hoping for less but his work is reputable. Also haven't finished the wiring yet as I have been working on some other projects. I have a few...

I was surprised I didn't burn it out, but no what I effectively did was join Hi and Low beam together so they are both always on regardless of the switch position. I will rewire the tail light so its on the ignition circuit, I just really wanted the option of being able to turn all the lights...

stayed up really late wiring in the new tail light and thought i'd solved it turning off when I go to high beam by wiring it both the Hi and Low out put sides of the M-unit. I didn't really think that through did I? Who else can see the obvious problem with doing it that way?

The new R/R arrived and so did my 3rd Chinese tail light. The bike charges now! I will try to finish up the wiring tonight but this heat is oppresive!

I got brakes! I picked up my parts from the shop today and spent ages trying to bleed the front, turns out one of the bleeders was blocked with some gunk that I didn't clean out and with the help of a mates vacuum bleeder kit I got it done in no time. Now its all connected I'm looking at the...

Quick update: Mirrors arrived. I will have to grind off some rubber to fit them in the bars but im not putting them on until its time for rego because im likely to damage them while working on the bike. My brother picked up a second hand rr but its still at his place and I don't think I will...

ohhhhh, that makes sense now. I'm still not gonna try it. My Brother lives a couple hours away in a bigger city and the motorcycle shop there had a rr in stock for $80. I'm going to his place next weekend because us Aussies celebrate "invasion day" next Friday. So when I get back if thats...

What? as i'm not 100% on what that is I will just wait until I work out a new rr. and yeah postage to this side of the globe gets a bit pricey... not to mention the AUD is only 80c to every USD. you said there are a few 7 wire rr that work but mine has 8 wires, which wire can I not use/direct...

Yeah I checked that. cheers.

The local bike shop didn't have a rectifier and the guy said to go after market anyway because the OEM one was $439. But they did order the brake rebuild parts I needed. So... its going to be a good ol fashioned thumb twiddling until I get me some more parts, but I will keep you updated.

Instruction with the battery were "The instructions are inside" I read it and it said it only needs 20 mins for the electrolyte to flow in then its good to go. I did think there was more to it than that. Now I know for next time.

Thanks for the help fella's, to answer a few questions the brushes have a fair bit of meat left on them as seen in the pic and there is no resistance between them and the bolts holding them in. I know the pic I put up here says 4 Ohms but thats because I was holding it in one hand to take a pic...

So I have done some reading and followed everyone's fault finding guide and I'm starting to think my Reg/Rec is not working. I pulled apart the only 3 original plugs from the wiring loom and cleaned the male and female connectors up with emery paper and pinched the female sides closed a little...

Nope. Installed the battery and checked volts, 12.79V so far so good. Turned bike on to idle and it dropped to 12.38V held the revs at 3000 and it stayed on 12.38V. So no magic fix today. The reg/rec has its own earth bolt to the frame to make sure its grounded good and proper. The purple wire...
